Dermabrasion for acne scars in Dermatology Clinic and Aesthetic Surgery of Puebla

About the clinic

Dermabrasion for acne scars at the Dermatology Clinic and Aesthetic Surgery of Puebla in Puebla, Mexico, is a specialized treatment to improve skin texture and tone. A single microdermabrasion session typically costs around $30, while an initial consultation with digital diagnostics is also around $30. This clinic is recognized for its three-generation medical history and holds a high 4.9/5 rating from 100+ verified patient reviews.

Advanced Diagnostic Approach

Treatment begins with a mandatory medical consultation to assess your skin. The clinic uses VISIA Canfield digital diagnostics to capture photos from six different angles. Dr. Dafne Arellano Montalvo uses these images to classify scar types and create a written treatment plan. If you choose to proceed with the treatment, the clinic refunds the consultation fee. This process makes sure that microdermabrasion is only used for scars it can actually improve, such as superficial rolling scars and post-inflammatory marks.

Procedure Details and Results

The clinic uses mechanical microdermabrasion with diamond-tip or aluminum oxide crystal tools. This method removes the top layer of skin while using controlled vacuum suction. This action helps the skin renew itself and encourages collagen growth. For superficial rolling scars, patients usually need 8 to 12 sessions to see a 30% to 50% improvement. If you are treating pigmented marks, 4 to 8 sessions are often required alongside strict use of SPF 50+ sunscreen. This procedure is also helpful as maintenance between deeper scar protocols.

Expertise in Puebla

Dr. Dafne Arellano Montalvo personally performs the treatments at the facility. Dr. Dafne Arellano Montalvo has performed 10,000+ procedures and holds advanced degrees from universities in Barcelona and Nice. The clinic has operated in the same Bella Vista location since 1971. It is a COFEPRIS-sanctioned medical facility, which means it meets national health standards in Mexico. The medical team focuses on controlled results for specific skin types, helping patients manage expectations for different types of acne scarring.

Dermatology Clinic and Aesthetic Surgery of Puebla: more details about the clinic

Mexico, Puebla
Dermatology and Aesthetic Surgery Clinic of Puebla is a private medical clinic in Puebla known for long-term continuity in dermatology and aesthetic care. The clinic was founded in 1971 by Professor Dr. Francisco Arellano Ocampo, a dermatologist who helped introduce clinical protocols in Puebla and supported academic training for dermatologists. From its early years, the practice emphasized stable clinical follow-up, including continuity at the same physical location referenced as the clinic’s historic site. The clinic’s integrated approach is built around dermatology and aesthetic specialties under one roof, supporting coordinated care when patients present with more than one concern. Clinical planning commonly starts with VISIA analysis, and the clinic discusses objective facial assessment using digital parameters before choosing treatments. For rejuvenation, the clinic performs non-surgical facial lifting with the Fotona 4D facelift, and it also offers laser-based rejuvenation options using multiple platforms with specific indications. Patients may also be treated for skin texture, pigmentation concerns, and acne-related marks using targeted protocols such as microdermoabrasion in selected scar types, as well as combination strategies that can include post-procedure adjuncts like exosomes. A key differentiator is the clinic’s documented three-generation continuity: Professor Francisco (founded the clinic in 1971, first generation), Dr. Arístides Arellano Huacuja (second generation), and Dr. Dafne Arellano Montalvo (third generation). This lineage is paired with specific professional credentials mentioned in clinic materials, including professional registration for the lead doctor in aesthetic medicine. The clinic also highlights the importance of using certified technologies and maintaining product authenticity for device-based and injectable treatments used in procedures. For international patients, the clinic supports VISIA-based diagnostic planning and technology-led treatment selection as part of its structured workflow. The clinic presents its history as continuing in Puebla for decades, with documented continuity under the same family medical practice. The clinic emphasizes trust through professional verification and regulatory visibility associated with specific brands and device authenticity checks described for HydraFacial equipment. It also lists certified laser platforms and technologies used for depilation and rejuvenation, supporting a structured, device-led clinical pathway rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. In clinic figures, the practice is presented as founded in 1971 and described as having 50+ years of continuous medical practice, with multiple original units referenced for dermatology and specialized surgery. The care model centers on three documented generations of medical professionals and uses advanced diagnostics and certified platforms to guide treatment choices, including VISIA-guided planning for procedures like laser rejuvenation and facial lifting.

After talking to several local plastic surgeons we decided on Doctor Aristides and we are most pleased with the whole experience and, most of all, the brilliant results!

15 minute tag removal turned into 3 hour pure torture waiting time. My appointment was scheduled at 4:30 I was taken to the first room where they applied the local anesthesia and after a long little bit more than hour the doctor assistant had to do the removal in a rush because the doctor had an emergency and the anesthesia was running out. Tags were burned then after another hour after being told the doctor will check the work done by his assistant I was ignored for another hour. Doctor never showed up. Finally I was taken to the room where I was supposed to get dress then I was released. Not happy at all. I do not recommend this place. Lack of professionalism.

I thought I had signed up to go for an evaluation of my face, including all the options that this place would offer me and their costs, which was the information I read on the internet and that this consultation was free of charge. After I arrived and they started the consultation I realized that the consultation was not with a doctor (that costs $600 pesos) it was with some assistant, who could only recommend injections of Botox or fillers and other treatments such as radio frequency and laser. I was expecting to see a doctor who could tell me ALL the options and what they recommended including surgery. This did not happen. The main doctor or possible owner of the clinic pulled up in her $150,000 Mercedes walked by everybody and muttered a barely audible good morning and ran up to her office, so all I could see from that point on were dollar signs.. money money money.... The waiting room looked like someone had vomited several times all over the walls and the furniture was the most uncomfortable I have ever experienced in ANY waiting room in my entire life. If the plastic surgeon Mercedes-driving Doctor did the decorations I wouldn't be letting her anywhere near my face..... God only knows how it would turn out if that's really her taste and what she calls aesthetically pleasing. A very disappointed experience.... I will never go back and cannot recommend them for anything... I'm just happy I didn't go forward with any of their treatments that I'm sure were all about money and not about pleasing the patient.... Don't go unless you want an experience that will probably not meet your expectations!

Do not do your rhinoplasty or chin implant here ! I did my nose and chin a couple months back and hate it! He does not give you the results he promises you and lies. My chin implant is crooked and I can feel it. You’re not supposed to be able to feel it. My nose had a bump and all he did was remove it he didn’t even bother fixing my tip or nostrils which we spoke about during the consultation. When I asked him if he had made my nostrils smaller he said yes and that I was swollen he completely lied. I payed 80000 pesos to look worse. He rushes his work
